[Verse 1]
G
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

      C                                   G
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

        G                                   Em
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword.

    Am       D7       G
His truth is marching on.
[Chorus]
G                         C                  G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!

G                    Em       Am       D7       G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
[Verse 2]
G
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps.

          C                           G
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.

      G                                  Em
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

    Am     D7       G
His day is marching on.
[Chorus]
G                         C                  G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!

G                    Em       Am       D7       G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
[Verse 3]
G
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

      C                               G
He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgement seat.

     G                                Em
O be swift my soul, to answer him, be jubilant my feet!

    Am     D7       G
Our God is marching on.
[Chorus]
G                         C                  G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!

G                    Em       Am       D7       G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
[Verse 4]
G
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea.

       C                            G
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me.

      G                             Em
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!

      Am     D7       G
While God is marching on.
[Chorus]
G                         C                  G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!

G                    Em       Am       D7       G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
[Verse 5]
G
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave;

      C                           G
He is wisdom to the mighty, he is honor to the brave.

       G                                    Em
So the world shall be his footstool and the soul of wrong his slave.

    Am     D7       G
Our God is marching on.
[Chorus]
G                         C                  G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!

G                    Em       Am       D7       G
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
